First, savor this wine for its magnificent color, a brilliant golden yellow. The aroma has that sweet, fresh smell of an apple orchard. While it is also tart on the tongue, the fruity details re-emerge in the wine's flavor. Oak aging gives character.

Such a rich, luscious wine does not come cheaply. This is a wine to share with good friends and dishes such as Caesar salad, roasted pork or chicken, and seafood.
